MG5 2024 Review: ZERO STARS for safety in shock crash test conducted after filming

Detailed review of the 2024 MG5 Vibe ($24,990 driveaway). What’s the catch? All is revealed in this real-world sedan test.

The MG5 has a stunning price tag in Australia. It’s $25K on the road for the non-turbo Vibe or $29K on the road for the turbocharged Essence.

Is there a catch to all this? Well, yes - but the car is still relatively decent to drive and a sharp deal. Would you buy one?

Rivals to the MG5 include the Kia Cerato sedan, Toyota Corolla sedan, Mazda 3 sedan and Hyundai i30 sedan. But they’re all more expensive.
